Living Creatively, Living the Dream
My girlfriend and I headed to Celebration Square (otherwise known as Parade Square) to catch one of the week’s free concerts. Who’d have dreamt a night of standing in the mud soaked grass would be so entertaining… or that the coat my Continue reading Matt Mays…
When all hell broke loose, she climbed inside me. I’m not sure how it happened but I do know when. I was on the floor… in a ball, turned inside out… not willing to unfold myself. She got down next to me Continue reading Little-One…
I could go anywhere with my girlfriends and have a great time but to be honest, getting a bill for $88 on a meal where our pretty but distracted waitress missed the boat several times…not checking in on our table and asking if we’d like more Continue reading Girls night out…
It’s mid January… the holidays are over and it’s time to put the old feet up and relax before the bills start rolling in! I’ve a ton of chores not yet finished and tree needles are still making their way into my home. It would Continue reading A Giveaway from Mudwraps to Manicures!!!
I could say a lot to sum up this year but rather than typing a big ol’ “What I did in 2010” post, I thought I’d say it through Facebook status updates (or at least a small portion of them!) The Continue reading It’s a new year….
Lara Debruyn Photography Two thousand and ten is coming to an end and while I really don’t want to whine about it… I’m desperately happy it’s almost behind me. It seems like everything I’ve done this year was accomplished with much struggle and Continue reading You’re a cow… go lick yourself! I mean… Happy New Year.
Gib and I went out to for a quick little run to one of our favorite little strips. But you don’t strip there. Just thought I should clear the air on that one. We arrived before it opened… Gib and I are Continue reading Pain a la butt…
I’m cold. I keep turning up the heat but I can’t get my little feet to warm up. Technically size ten (possibly ten and a half) isn’t exactly considered “little”…but I use it as a term of endearment not a measurement of size. (I really like Continue reading Cold feet…
My girlfriend, C.A., went through a divorce about a year before her 40th birthday. It was what she wanted, yet her pain ran deep. Something I never truly understood…until my own. When her birthday rolled around, her dream of going to New York was in the Continue reading Enough with fools in tinfoil…
There’s a new pair of shoes in my repertoire!!! For a few years I’ve switched between my Blundstones and my Fit Flops. Both are like dear old friends when I slip into them…having not seen them for months. I’m in my Flops from May Continue reading Filling my big shoes…
I have this girlfriend who bakes cakes. And when I say cakes… what I really mean to say is masterpieces… as she truly is a CAKE ARTIST!!! We met years ago working at Granite Springs Golf Club. The Bunnykins mug and bowl displayed in Continue reading Patti-Cakes…
Good Lord there’s a hurricane coming and there’s much to be done! I have to pick up batteries, propane and water, bring things in and tie stuff down, stock the cupboards, fill the car, prep the basement and other hurricane related stuff! To add Continue reading Heat waves and hurricanes…
My parents hosted a breakfast for my eldest daughter and her friends this morning. Ten amazing young men and women facing their futures… heading off to explore the world. To make a difference. Giggling, loud, wide eyed teens. Full of knowledge that soon Continue reading The table is set…
There’s some sort of buzzing noise in my house… quite possibly in my head. I think it’s from a light fixture?… the fridge?… a cricket?… not really sure. I laid in bed for the longest time this morning acutely listening to the noises Continue reading Buzz off…
My Aunt was visiting from Newfoundland this week and we had a traditional “jiggs dinner”… roast beef, turnip, carrots, potatoes, salt beef, cabbage and peas pudding. I’m not a big fan… so my plate had a few odds and ends on Continue reading The jiggs up…
Ever have one of those mornings that start off wrong and get far worse? I set my clock radio for seven thirty. I’d heard from the vet last night with an “I don’t want to alarm you but…” phone call, informing me that Continue reading Don’t mean to alarm you…
I’m awaiting Prada’s arrival so we can entertain ourselves in this morning’s episode of “The View”. It’s happened several mornings now… Prada arrives with coffee cup in hand and joins Little-One and I as we sit around the counter discussing the previous evening’s Continue reading Cougar in the woods…
Sometimes things are going along all nice and pretty…and then the whole world reveals itself. We were sitting on the deck of Gib’s cottage when we saw the sweet little bunny hopping by. Gib was thrilled…”my bunny” she said in Continue reading Treading lightly…
As soon as the kids arrive I’m heading to the beach. Two nights with Gib and her kids in Malagash for fun and relaxation. The best part of it all is the outdoor shower to wash down the sandy little creeps Continue reading Beach bound…
Gib, Little-One and I headed out last night for a bit of entertainment. It’s odd for me to even be hitting the bars. Something, up until a year and a half ago, I thought I’d outrgrown. I was nervous of revisiting. Scared Continue reading Taking the leap…
